I hate Lebron James. This guy is a starting to love himself and his press just a little too much. Last week Lebron tells everyone he ain't going anywhere, and then last night he comes out with a new shoe that celebrates New York and says that NYC fans should be excited for July 1st, 2010. I know he has to answer these questions and he isn't gonna close any doors and kill his marketability but please for the sake of us basketball fans who want to hear about something over than a summer that is two years off just put an end to this and tell these fools that yes you deal a lot with New York, yes Jay Z is your best friend, and you don't want to talk about your impending free agency until some team hoists the larry o'brien trophy.
After years of the gangster, me-first image in the NBA players like Dwyane Wade, Lebron, Chris Bosh, CP3, and Carmelo were supposed to be team players who worked for the team, kept their image clean, and didn't jerk us around. Well now the ring leader (figuratively obviously) is jerkign around the entirely NBA league by entertaining the mass of completely uncreative glut of basketball sportswriters. Quit being an ass buddy and tell em to search for a real story. Us fans can only read the same story so many times (and we still have a year and a half to go).
I am not a fan of Lebron. I can only stomach so much force fed greatness, and this year is shaping up to be the year of Lebron; front runner for the MVP, hot start (not that we haven't seen this before... hello 2005...), and a supporting squad that has expectations as high as they come. There's no way getting around the fact that we're gonna hear a lot about this kid, but please can we focus on something other than his prospects TWO SEASONS AWAY!
I can't be the only one who is getting close (please, I would never) to hoping for a career altering injury just to flip this whole thing on it's head.
